Henry Howard - Brittle Beauty
Work rating: Low

Brittle beauty that nature made so frail,
Whereof the gift is small, and short the season,
Flowering today, tomorrow apt to fail,
Tickle treasure, abhorred of reason,          [fragile]
Dangerous to deal with, vain, of none avail,
Costly in keeping, passed not worth two peason,          [peas]
Slipper in sliding as is an eel`s tail,          [slippery]
Jewel of jeopardy that peril doth assail,
False and untrue, enticed oft to treason,
Enemy to youth: that most may I bewail.
Ah, bitter sweet: infecting as the poison,
    Thou farest as fruit that with the frost is taken: 
    Today ready ripe, tomorrow all to-shaken.          [broken]
